So, Is the Insta360 X4 8K Actually Any Good?

We would like to thank our podcast sponsor, OM SYSTEM. Recently, PetaPixel followed OM SYSTEM Ambassadors Tiffany Taxis and Arthur Lefo as they photographed the incredible winter wildlife of Yellowstone National Park. The photographers had brought the recently released OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II, the company’s latest telephoto zoom lens, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 IS, as well as the M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm F4.5 TC1.25X IS PRO

Watch the film on PetaPixel's YouTube Channel, make sure to read Lefo’s 9 Tips for Photographing Wildlife in Winter, and don't forget to also visit explore.omsystem.com/petapixel to learn more about the OM-1 Mark II and the M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 IS lens.

This week, Jordan and I discuss some new developments surrounding Nikon's acquisition of RED as well as some of the top news that came out of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) tradeshow in Las Vegas. That includes some hands-on impressions and testing of Insta360's new camera.
